Copperplate engraving from two plates, printed on two sheets joined at the time of publication; impressed on laid paper. Signed in the plate at the lower left, "F.B. Werner delin.," and at the lower right, "Iohan Friderich Probst, Haeres Hieremiae Wolffy Aug. Vindel." 360 x 1020 mm. A splendid general view, published by the Probst workshop. The title appears on a ribbon in the center. At the bottom, there are 48 references in Latin, arranged in 7 columns, with corresponding German translations in another 7 columns to the right. G. B. Probst inherited the printing house from its founder, Geremia Wolff—a firm that specialized in publishing large-scale city views, such as the one presented here. The Probst family were among the most prominent German print publishers in the first half of the 18th century. Their workshop produced a wide variety of engravings, including "optical views" (perspectival prints) and large-scale depictions of European cities—like this example—all of which are now difficult to find on the antiquarian market, given their large dimensions and the consequently limited number of copies originally printed. This large-format series, featuring major European cities, is arguably the most significant work produced by the Wolff-Probst family. An excellent specimen with generous margins; in perfect condition, save for a faint mark in the margin from a previous mount (passe-partout).
